Description
This volume reflects the growing awareness of the development of linguistic diversity within urban entities and is intended as a representative model of the analysis of the relationship between ethnolinguistic identity and urbanization. The immensity of the task in hand accounts for the interdisciplinary nature of the present book, for it is evident that no one discipline can satisfactorily investigate urban bilingualism. To our knowledge no studies of the type presented exist to date.
